Band 5

Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social problems, as well as practical problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#country #language
Moving to a country where the prevailing
language
 differs from one’s native can
cause
 significant issues with adapting to
society
 as well as misunderstanding on a daily basis. I strongly agree that a number of problems may arise due to
language
 barrier.
Firstly
,
this
 essay will discuss psychological aspects and an outcome of isolation from
society
, and
secondly
, it will
analyze
consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning
analyse
 an inability to understand and correspond to simple instructions which may lead to more serious consequences. The primary reason why I agree with the idea that the lack of knowledge of the commonly spoken
language
 may lead to societal
disbalance
 is that the acceptance of the individual by
society
 plays a crucial role in self-assurance and in basic need for communication in the life of every human being.
Therefore
, a person who is not being involved in the interactive process of communication is more likely to feel lonely and vulnerable as well as experience more stress and inability to share his/her negative thoughts with, at least, someone.
For instance
, according to recent research conducted in one of the small cities in
USA
Suggestion
the USA
 close to
border
Suggestion
the border
 with Mexico figured out that immigrant who were able to speak both languages: Spanish and English were less likely to commit suicide rather
then
conjunction used in comparatives
than
 those who could only speak their mother tongue. Another point to consider is that people who are unable to speak and understand
language
 of the country where they stay may
cause
 issues with fulfilling instructions or recommendations of the authorities.
As a result
,
such
 a misunderstanding might
cause
 an opportunity to fool or be unfair with the foreigner by the local population. As an example of
such
 a situation I can think of a time when the maintenance company of the house where I am a tenant posted an announcement in Turkish stating that the monthly payment has been reduced from 2,700 Turkish Liras to 2,500 Turkish Liras. When I visited office to pay monthly rent, no one has ever mentioned a decrease in payment and charged me with the amount of 2,700 Turkish Liras.
Thus
, because of my inability to understand Turkish
language
, I was deceived and lost the money I could save. In conclusion, I am firmly convinced that residing in a country where the majority of the population speaks another
language
 can provoke not only challenges with assimilations in
society
, but may
also
cause
troubles
Suggestion
trouble
 in a daily life constantly.
